I do not fully understand which features of the VT220 you want on the Rainbow.
The closest packages I have found are Kermit 2.29.1 and TurboComm.  Both are
public domain and have some problems.  Neither allows down loading of fonts.
One of them understands alternate cursor mode and the other does not.  Both
use 7 bit escape sequences.  I guess what I am saying is both come close, but
do not perfectly emulate the VT220.  I have found problems with both.
The VT102 firmware is accurate.  TRM even works well as a VT102 (with the
Polygon supplied patch that allows ^Y under Regis).
